Step 12Seal the mouthpiece end of the didge
In this step, you will seal off the mouthpiece end of the didge, in preparation for coating the inside with epoxy.
First, you'll want to make sure the leather has dried off from the last step. Feel the leather on the inside at the bell end. If it still feels damp, or slightly cool to the touch, let it sit for another day.
Get a small piece of silly putty and roll it into a snake, and then press it onto the edge of the leather at the mouthpiece end.
Place the plastic bag over the mouthpiece end of the didge, and pull it tight against the silly putty. This should make an air (and epoxy!) tight seal, to keep epoxy from leaking out.
Put some of the masking tape around the plastic next to the edge of the didge, and then cut off any excess plastic.
Then put some more tape across the top and down the side, to hold the plastic in place. You don't want the plastic coming off while you have epoxy in the didge!
